Reddy Fox Smells Mouse. RABHEIEE & 47 e Reddy Fox has keen eyes. Also Reddy has his share of curlosity. It Just happemed that Reddy had not ‘been at home in the Old Pasture, tak- ing his morning nap as usual, when Nanny Meadow Mouse was carried away in the old tin can by Farmer Brown's Boy. Reddy had beén on his way home when he saw Farmer Brown's Boy crossing the Green Meadows. Reddy had at once sat down to watch. He had sat down where he could see, but not be seen. He saw Farmer Brown's Boy pick something up and carry it across the Green Meadows until he #A MOUSE HASN'T WINGS," SAID REDDY TO HIMSELF. came to the bushes on the edge of the Green Meadows. Then Farmer Brown's Boy had tossed that thing in among the bushes and gone on his WaY. Reddy Fox cocked his head on one side. “I wonder,” thought he, “what Farmer Brown's Boy threw over there. 1 wonder where Farmer Brown's Boy is going. It is well to know what one’s neighbors are doing. Yes, sir, it is well to knBw what one's neighbors are these two- legged about. 1 am Brown's Boy, but it does no harm to know all I possibly can about him.” So as soon as Farmer Brown's Boy was out of sight, Reddy trotted across MILADY not afraid of Farmer .

Of course, you know how he did that. He did it by using his eyes and his nose—especially his nose. Reddy can always trust his nose. “Well, I don't know what it was he picked up,” said Reddy to himself, “but whatever it was, it had been’ here for a long time. The grass is all dead | where it lay. Probably it wouldn't in- terest me anyway. Ha, I smell a Mouse! i There has been a Meadow Mouse around here and not very long ago at that. That being the case, that Meadow Mouse must still be somewhere around here. I will see what my nose is good for. Nose, do your duty.” So Reddy put his little black nose to the ground and it began to pick up :he scent of Nanny Meadow Mouse. The scent was faint. Sometimes it disap- |seared altogether and then Reddy would have to go back. He worked lround‘ there for a long time. That scent would {lead him along one of Nanny’s private | little paths for a short distance and then it would disappear. Then he would try another private little path ing. Yes, sir, it wds tantalizing! Al around that spot was the smell of ‘Mouse, yet it didn't lead him anywhere. “A Mouse hasn't wings,” said Reddy to himself, “so it cannot fly away. A Mouse cannot travel a very long dis- tance in a short time. So the Mouse that was here must still be here, or at least somewhere near here.” Once more Reddy put that little black nose to the ground. He began working in circles. He was trying to find the scent of that Mouse if the Mouse had gone away. He didn't have to make |a very big circle to discover that-there was no scent of Meadow Mouse at all. | Reddy 'sat down to think this over. “If | that Mouse isn't somewhere within this | circle,” sald Reddy to himself, “it must be that Whitetall the Marsh Hawk, or some other member of his family, has caught that Mouse and carried it away. I'll have one more good search.” So Reddy made another thorough search. It was thorough, too, for Reddy ! believes in heing thorough. He was sure that there was not one inch,of | ground within that circle that he had ! not examined. Then he sighed. “Somebody else got that Mouse,” said | he. “It certainly is hard luck to smell Mouse and not be able to find one. Now I'll go see what Farmer Brown's Boy threw over in those bushes.” (Copyright. 1930 ask your doctor regarding a trim down the figure a certain of active exercise and a special diet is necessary.

In most cases of appetitelessness met with in the healthy child who simply never is hungry there are usually two eondi- tlons present—an ample menu and a solicitous mother. Mrs. C. W. H. discusses this so help- fully that I feel her letter will throw some light on one angle of this lack of appetite situation. She says: “I have often read in your column about the trouble mothers have in get- ting their children to eat. I know of no special reason, but I have never had the least trouble with that problem. My three are 4, 3 and 1}5 years old. ‘They sit at the table with'us, and even to the youngest they eat like farm| hands. The youngest has been weaned | since 1 year and feeds himself. “Between them they drink two quarts of milk daily and eat all other foods. I think most children have too much attention paid to them, and perhaps that is why my children do so littie fussing about what they eat. At the beginning of each meal I prepare their plates, and unless they ask for more no attention is paid to them. “A few weeks ago the oldest decided she wanted no oatmeal. So I told her how it grew and was prepared for us to eat, and that it made little boys and girls grow big enough to go to school. Before 1 was through the oatmeal had disappeared. “Now. I have a question to ask. How soon do baby teeth fall out, and should they be repaired if cavities develop?” 1 do agree with you about the atten- tion children get and later demand about eating. Meal times are more ex- citing if every bite is watched by the mother, and every child soon learns that his refusal to eat is vastly important to her. Even if the child refused once| or twice, make nothing of it. We all do that. Appetites, and no. dramatics about eating, should rule the table. ‘The first 20 teeth usually fall out between the seventh and tenth years, and are replaced by permanent teeth. At 6 years two additional teeth—the “six-year” molars—appear, and these should be cherished and preserved, as they are of enormous significance. Even baby teeth should have fillings as soon as cavities develop; otherwise they de- cay rapidly, causing the child pain. If they become too decayed, they have to be pulled, and this results in closing up those natural spaces into which the second teeth should come. ‘We have a leaflet on “The Average Ages at Which PFirst and Second Teeth » which any reader may have by sending a self-addressed. stamped | envelope, with each request, to Myrtle | Mayer Eldred, care of “Your Baby andl Mine” department of this newspaper.

CRAIG. l May 20, 1861.—Insanitary conditions in some of the barracks in this city occupled by volunteer troops, concen- trated here for the protection of the city and possible conflict with troops of the seceded States, are the subject of criticism by Secretary of War Cam- eron. Secretary Cameron sent a letter today to Surg. Gen. R. C. Wood, as follows: “This department has learned with regret that the sanitary condition of the various barracks in this city occu- pied by the volunteers now in the rear of the City Hall and at the assembly buildings, in which several Pennsyl- vania regiments are quartered, demands its attention. “Representations of this character have been made to it by benevolent private individuals and also official authorities, including the Board of Health of Washington, whose business it is to guard the health of the city. “The citizen soldiery who have so gmmp?-ly and patriotically left their omes in response to the call of the President and taken up arms in defense of the Constitution and laws and to vindicate and maintain American na- tionality are entitled to the tenderest care and most assiduous attention of the Government in every respect, and most especially to promote their health and comfort. “You are therefore directed immedi- ately to cause an inspection of these barracks to be made by one or more experienced, skiliful and competent medical officers, with a view of ascer- taining their actual sanitary condition, and instruct them to report to you, for the information of this de nt, such measures and regulations as will, in their opinion, not only speedily and effectually remove any evils which may be found to exist, but which will pro- mote, protect and ensure the health and comfort of these citizen soldiers. “Relying upon your usual zeal and activity in all matters affecting the sanitary conditions of the Army, I am, your truly, (Signed) “SIMON CAMERON, ‘Secretary of War.” Cream Loaf Cake.

The health board, the employers, and the school, THE MOST IMPORTANT MINUTE 1S JUST BEFORE YOU GO TO BED ‘months is great waste. | The ‘with the school first, should be gravely concerned about this problem.

Fine, if the job is intelligently selected, not just for the money in question, though’ that is of importance, but for the education it offers, which is of prime importance. A good job is educative. Don't imagine a child is educated because he goes through school. Not until his knowledge functions in action can you measure his education. Work is a great help toward that end.
